Discussion:
[Proftpd-user] Testers for an AWS-specific module for ProFTPD?

I've been perusing posts on StackOverflow and related sites lately, and
have seen many folks having issues with running proftpd on an EC2
instance in AWS. Mostly this relates to FTP's multiple TCP connection,
and the usual router/NAT/firewall fun required to make the data
transfers work.

To try to help these folks, I wrote up a ProFTPD AWS howto:

http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/AWS.html

and a mod_aws module, which can (hopefully) suggest necessary config
changes (or make them itself); see:

https://github.com/Castaglia/proftpd-mod_aws/

It's a work-in-progress, of course; you can see existing feature
requests/bugs filed that I need to fix:

https://github.com/Castaglia/proftpd-mod_aws/issues

But I feel that mod_aws is at a point now where having a few other folks
try it out (assuming you use AWS), help shake out more issues and make
it more production-ready, would be quite useful. So if you use ProFTPD
on EC2 instances in AWS, and would like to help out, please try out the
module, let me know how it goes.

Cheers,
TJ
